    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Two things on Sen. Chute’s Statement on the functionality of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the fight against corruption in counties. I request further that the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights (JLAC) to include all counties in order to give us the status on the fight against corruption. Secondly, Madam Temporary Speaker, I have seen the Statement by the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations on the issue of the withdrawal of security bodyguards of the Azimio Members of Parliament (MPs). I agree that when you participate in an illegal demonstration, you are not entitled to be given Government service or security. The Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration has averred in the letter and in the Statement by the Committee, that under the Public Order Act, it was not possible to allow the police to escort MPs aligned to the Azimio One Kenya Alliance to participate in an illegality. You cannot set police against each other. Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank this Committee for coming out clearly. We have had cases where even dead bodies were being hired for public sympathy as well as those allegations of cars being shot at. As I support this Committee’s report, I also ask them to go further and investigate allegations of bodies being hired for public sympathy and the issue of cars being shot at or attempted assassinations."
